'Pets' is a plugin to help you manage your cosmetic pets. You can search and scroll through the list of available pets to obtain in the game, find out information about how to get the necessary tome to learn the pet skill, and add your favorite pets to a specific quickslot bar for easy access.

To install the plugin, unzip the GaluhadPlugins folder to your lotro plugins directory. Usually user/documents/the lord of the rings online/plugins

The plugin can be loaded in-game through the plugin manager, or by using the command /plugins load pets

On loading, a new icon will appear on screen. This can be moved about by clicking and dragging. A single click will open the quickslot bar and a double click will open the main window.

The pets are organised into families to make them easier to find, and are sorted alphabetically. This applies also to pets that are added to the quickslot bar.

For each pet in the main window, checking the box next to the pet name will add that pet to the quickslots. Clicking the pet name opens a short description of where you can get the pet from, and the tome that is needed (should you want to link it to chat as a WTB etc.).

At the bottom of the main window you have a text box which you can enter a new name for your pet. And the option to show/hide the quickslot bar how ever you prefer.

The plugin registers a new slash command;/pets - shows/hides the main window (incase you have the quickslots disabled).

At present the plugin is only available in English and German, however translations into French and Russian are possible with separate string files included.

German translations by DaBear78. I also want to give a huge thank you and shout out to Sucamarto, Xanthor, Grizzly UK and Garan for sharing the new data as it is discovered.

v.1.1.0 - 16 Mar 2018
- Added pets up to update 22.0.1
- Increased the height of the main window
- Changed the search text to also search descriptions as well as pet names.
- Added a new dropdown so you can also search through the pets added from each update.

To all, when posting additions while waiting on new plugin releases, it would be helpful to post not just the ...\Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins\GaluhadPlugins\Pets\Strings\English stuff, but also the ...\Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins\GaluhadPlugins\Pets\Data stuff.

For example (NOTE THE # 170, 171, 172 are arbitrary and can be changed depending on where you are adding these....I simply added these 3 below the latest official release numbers that stopped at 169):

DATA FILE ======>>>>> (NOTE: the Storm-cloud second number below (1879373188) and Yule Rabbit second number below (1879378510) are wrong ....this 2nd number represents the un-applied item before you bind it to yourself. ....so, if you just want a shortcut to the pet and don't care about this .... just use code as below. I don't have the un-bound item in my inventory anymore to get the real number with a separate tool unless someone else does. Either way, for the 3 below, they work well-enough until the next plugin update).

Sorry if this is a basic question (my computer skills are limited!), but does the plugin automatically update itself when I open LOTRO, or do I need to download the update to my PC? My Pets interface does not show some of the newer pets - e.g., blue and green peacocks/peahens, storm cloud, etc.

It won't update itself automatically. You need to install newer versions the same way you installed the original. Or, you can use Plugin Compendium, which is a program that makes it easy to upgrade plugins.

Those are already in the last Pets update. Just some had TBCs for where they come from. The latest update to the game added a bunch of goat kid pets, which I don't know what they are from yet either. I'll have another update soon. I already have all the skill and tome IDs, just not sure on locations yet. Thanks.
